Return the Aurora Imaging Library identifier of the ancestor buffer.

Syntax

AIL_ID MfuncBufAncestorId(
AIL_BUFFER_INFO BufferInfoHandle //in
)

Description

This function retrieves the Aurora Imaging Library identifier of the ancestor buffer.

Only child buffers have an ancestor buffer. The ancestor buffer is the buffer from which the specified buffer (BufferInfoHandle) ultimately originated. It is the root buffer; it does not have a parent buffer (it is not a child buffer of another buffer).

Parameters

BufferInfoHandle (in, AIL_BUFFER_INFO)

Specifies the handle of the Aurora Imaging Library buffer. The buffer handle must be obtained using MfuncInquire with M_BUFFER_INFO.

Return Value

Type: AIL_ID

The returned value is the Aurora Imaging Library identifier of the specified Aurora Imaging Library buffer's ancestor buffer.

Remarks

This function is equivalent to using MbufInquire with M_ANCESTOR_ID, but provides no parameter checking or error reporting.
